Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions comprising a porous nanostructure of a known characteristics and a fragment of nucleic acid having a known sequence. Methods of use of the compositions were also provided, for example in DNA amplification, detection, and DNA sequencing.
Claims22
A composition comprising a first IDed porous nanostructure and a first nucleic acid, wherein the first nucleic acid is associated with the first IDed porous nanostructure.
(canceled)
A method of detecting the coding signals of a plurality of IDed nanostructures in a solution simultaneously, comprising
- passing a light from a solution comprising a plurality of IDed nanostructures through a microlens array to a photosensor array;
- and
- processing the light data to identify each IDed nanostructure in the solution.
A method of detecting the coding signals of a plurality of IDed nanostructures on a surface, comprising:
- assembling the plurality of IDed nanostructures from a solution onto the surface.
